GRAFTON – After years of service as a church, apartments and two fires later, the St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church is nothing more than a gravel lot.

After its first fire in 1962, the St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church building was converted into apartments. It remained as an apartment complex until fire destroyed the structure on October 26, 2013. Ten families, 17 individuals, lost their home in the fire.
